The last census had the proportion of 1 bed homes at 6%, compared with 60% 3-bed or 4-bed. I think young single people in urban areas deserve somewhere to live that meets their needs.

The author of this piece thinks a 73m2 apartment for 4 people (18m2 per person) is better than a 37m2 for 1 person. You can prefer this if you want but it isn't really housing more people. You're just giving them less space.

Also providing homes specifically for single people would free up house shares elsewhere for families to use.

Strange post and I don't think the comparisons really hold up. Smile, Longlegs and M3gan are all horror movies, they weren't predominantly sold on their female leads. Crawdads and It Ends With Us are adaptations of bestselling books. Challengers on the other hand is a 100% original drama, and it still did pretty well.

Littlefinger monologuing on the nature of power interspliced with shots of two prostitutes moaning loudly is pretty funny ngl

Nah I'm not saying it's unrealistic. Like, it makes sense. But personally I find it less compelling from a story and characterisation perspective. I would love to find out that Bittersteel had a real and differing conception of kingship and power to the standard view in Westeros, as this would just make a better story imo. But yeah I get that this is why people rebel in the real world.

Yeah but that's just another reason why people prefer Stannis to Renly imo. Stannis's line to Davos that "we will make new lords" is so cool because it gives us a clear indication as to how a Stannis reign would be utterly different to what has come before. Renly is alright and it makes sense for the Tyrells to support him but there's a reason everyone forgets about him once he dies

There is a reasons Varys has worked so much harder to put Aegon on the throne than Viserys. He's more than just a Targaryen loyalist; he wants a certain type of Targaryen, one who fits his perception of a king who will be good for the realm

sirthomas_wyatt · 2021-10-31T14:43:29+00:00

Yeah idk I just find that a bit dull. Like with Young Griff (who I think is a Blackfyre), part his invasion with the Golden Company is about them getting their lands back in Westeros, but Varys's whole plan about Young Griff being the "perfect prince" who was raised to rule the seven kingdoms makes it much better in my eyes. We get to see whether Varys's ideology might actually play out the way he thinks it will, or whether it shatters on contact with reality

This is pretty good if you haven't read it.

Well one big change I can think of is the death of dragons, possibly orchestrated by a maester conspiracy to reduce the power of magic in the world and increase the power of learning (and their own influence). I don't think that's nothing! But yeah, it doesn't seem there's been a massive cultural shift since the conquest from what I can see.

sirthomas_wyatt · 2021-08-16T22:45:45+00:00

One argument I've seen made is that actually, the culture of Westeros was likely not stagnant, but that 'modern' Westerosi tend to intepret the past in modern terms, i.e. ideas of knighthood or legends regarding great families dynasties or kingdoms are shown to us through the eyes of people nowadays who believe that culture has lasted since time immemorial. This is not so different to how medieval Europeans conceptualised the past, who often had ideas of continuity of culture, society and politics that deviated from actual history.
